COSMOSOL: A SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENT

"Cosmosol srl is a contract manufacturer of aerosol cosmetics and medical devices. Our mission is to design the aerosol of the future. Sustainability is at the core of our business strategy, which is why we have chosen to promote the CARE (Conscious Aerosol Research for the Environment) programme through the Sustainable Development Goals. The long-term goals, which we set in 2020 with the inception of the programme, have allowed us to focus on areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact. Our ambition and understanding of how we can influence our customers' choices and influence the transition towards a more circular economy continues to grow. Our customers are looking to contribute to a more sustainable future where being environmentally and socially responsible goes hand in hand with running a profitable business."

"There are several initiatives: investing in energy from renewable sources; designing fully recyclable systems and environmentally beneficial alternatives; removal of single-use plastic in offices; reduction of production film thickness; implementing initiatives to increase energy and transport efficiency; innovation and investment in technologies and products that reduce energy consumption; adopting initiatives to reduce water consumption (in particular for deionisers, washing cycles for mixing and filling lines, cooling systems); constant promotion of the efficiency and sustainability of production processes, in the timely monitoring of energy resources used in plants, related greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and production waste; adopting waste disposal strategies to increase recycling ."

"We faced many challenges to achieve our goals. Regarding fuels, we went to reduce the impact of LPG (VOC emission) by replacing it with environmentally friendly propellant such as air or nitrogen. We have researched less impactful materials (Bio, Organic, Cosmos, Natrue, RSPO, RMI compliant), increased the percentage of renewable raw material (of plant origin) and eliminated raw materials of animal origin. The ultimate and main goal of the CARE programme is to have 80% of Cosmosol products produced with natural and environmentally friendly propellants by 2025, in addition to the continued development of fully sustainable aerosol products. To date, we have reached 77% of products that are considered Eco-Friendly. We have decided to join the Science Based Target initiative in 2022 and from 2020 we will support the project 3Bee."

"Cosmosol believes in the responsibility of contributing to the global effort supported by the Agenda 2030 not only by actively participating in achieving its own goals, but also by inspiring others to do the same, aware that sustainable development can generate shared and lasting prosperity for all through collective responsibility. Thanks to 3Bee's Biodiversity Oasis Project we can, through a different story that does not directly involve our products, show our stakeholders our commitment and our will to preserve our planet."

The Oases of Biodiversity are physical and virtual spaces distributed throughout Italy and aim to monitor and safeguard pollinating insects and biodiversity. The Cosmosol Oasis consists of a beehive equipped with 3Bee Hive-Tech technology capable of observing the health status of over 300,000 bees. Thanks to the 3Bee Hive-Tech technology, this biomonitoring hive will make it possible to monitor environmental parameters useful for analysing the surrounding biodiversity and the health of pollinating insects. We chose to create Cosmosol's Oasis of Biodiversity starting from Lombardy, the region where we are present, to strengthen the link with the territory by contributing to the protection and regeneration of local biodiversity.
